The Power of Myth

First appearing as a series of a half-dozen interviews with Bill Moyers on PBS television, Joseph Campbell's popular analysis of myth in human culture was originally transcribed as a color-illustrated, large-format volume. This edition eschews the illustrations and varnished pages to present the core of Campbell's thought and Moyers' intelligent inquiry in a compact, eminently affordable format.

"The symbols of mythology and legend are all around us, embedded in the fabric of our daily lives, and the Moyers-Campbell dialogues are a welcome guide to recognizing and understanding their meanings."—Cincinnati Post
